Armstrong World Industries has long embraced the values embodied in its Operating Principles adopted in 1860, long before it was required by law. From the beginning, its founder Thomas Armstrong was determined his company act with fairness and in the “balanced best interests (of) customers, stockholders, employees, suppliers, community neighbours, government and the general public. Consistent with these principles, the company takes governance and compliance with utmost responsibility. The company has been a leader in corporate governance for many years. Its board has been comprised of outside directors since at least 1990. They were leaders in establishing governance principles, a board evaluation process and fully-independent audit, compensation and governance committees.

Through the years, the penchant for collaboration and innovation has led Armstrong to develop ceiling solutions that work harder than many people realize. It’s easy to see how their ceilings finish a room beautifully, adding drama, character and dynamism to any space. Their ceilings have acoustical properties and that means they can help control sound and noise within a room and room to room. In schools, for example, the acoustical ceilings help teachers teach and kids learn. Statistics show many children only hear three out of every four words a teacher says – because of ambient noise. In rooms with these acoustical ceilings, children can hear better, so they learn better and faster. In hospitals with these acoustical ceilings, a quieter environment helps patients heal faster.They have ceiling solutions for every interior space.
